Luana Carolina is facing a potentially lengthy time on the sidelines following a brutal submission defeat to Ariane Lipski at UFC Fight Night 172.

Carolina has been suspended for 180 days after tapping to a kneebar from Lipski in a women’s flyweight bout this past Saturday. Her term can be reduced if she receives doctor clearance from a left knee MRI.
